Abstract

Let S be a metric space under the distance function d. A metric basis is a subset B ⊆ S such that d( b, x) = d( b, y) for all b ϵ B implies x = y. It is shown that for Euclidean distance, the minimal metric bases for the digital plane are just the sets of three noncollinear points; but for city block or chessboard distance, the digital plane has no finite metric basis. The sizes of minimal metric bases for upright digital rectangles are also derived, and it is shown that there exist rectangles having minimal metric bases of any size ≥ 3.
